Playtesters ofApex Legendsare teasing fans of the Respawn Entertainment battle royale with clips of each legends' emote circulating through Twitter ahead of Season 9’s release. Each legend is receiving one free emote, with two additional emotes available forApex Legendsfans to obtain through Apex Packs or Crafting Materials. Among the playtesters teasing Season 9’s emotes on Twitter is a writer at Dot Esports known as Pedro Peres, who has conveniently compiled a thread of all of the free emotes.Valkyrie is joining theApex Legendsbattlewith Season 9, but she joins the roster with unique emotes, one of which has already been shown off during the Season’s reveal trailer.
The release of Season 9: Legacy will bringtons of new emotes toApex Legendsincluding Bangalore’s No Sweat, Bloodhound’s tracking, Caustic’s Design Flaw, Crypto’s Fistbump, Fuse’s Crowd Pleaser, Gibraltar’s Thumbs Up, Horizon’s Inspiration, Lifeline’s Jamin', Loba’s Crushed It, Mirage’s Smooth Moves, Octane’s Nervous Energy, Pathfinder’s Uppercut, and Wattson’s Easter Egg. Skydive Emotes and Finishers have been part ofApex Legendsfor a while, but these standing third-person character emotes are fresh additions to the battle royale with Season 9. Each legend is also getting a Legendary emote that takes self-expression to a new level, such as Octane’s Human Spring, Bangalore’s Charge, and Wraith’s Acrobat.
WhileApex Legendsfans will all have access to the base emote for each legend, the additional emotes will be found randomly in Apex Packs or collected through Crafting Materials. Each emote is fittingly named and the plethora ofadditions with Season 9: Legacywill giveApex Legendsfans more excuses to open theirApex Legendspacks.
The freeApex Legendsemotes aren’t quite as emotive as the legendary emotes, perpetuating the idea that paid and rarer cosmetics are superior to the freebies. In addition to these emotes,Arena Mode is joiningApex LegendsSeason 9alongside a new legend and infested Olympus map.Apex Legendsfans will be able to start unlocking these newApex LegendsSeason 9 emotes on May 4th after updates, but it will take a while for players to collect each of the emotes for every legend.
Apex Legendsis available right now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
